Abstract :
SmartDB is a framework for the uniform specification, simulation, optimization, evaluation, and implementation of intelligent vehicle highway system (IVHS) alternatives. The salient concepts in SmartDB are: (1) layered control architecture, (2) coordination of distributed control agents through communication, (3) combined discrete and continuous dynamical systems, known as hybrid systems, and their control and verification, (4) object oriented simulation, and (5) distributed and open architecture. This paper summarizes the first three concepts and describes in detail the simulation constructs and the distributed and open architecture of SmartDB.<>
